️BREAKING: YEMEN “HOUTHIS” ATTACK TEL AVIV, ISRAEL WITH HYPERSONIC BALLISTIC MISSILE.
This morning, a ballistic missile was launched towards Tel Aviv, striking a target close to Ben Gurion Airport. The missile took around 13 minutes to reach its destination, and Israeli ground defenses fired several interceptor missiles, none of which succeeded in shooting it down. The Israeli Air Force admitted the failure and has launched an investigation.
Over 2 million israelis took refuge in shelters at the time of the attack. The missile penetrated Israel’s multi-layered air defense system, including the Arrow, David's Sling, Iron Dome, aircraft, and jamming systems.
So far, there has been no official disclosure of the extent of the damage or the specific target hit. The footage circulating in the media only shows injuries caused by fragments of the interceptor missiles.
Yemen’s Armed forces “Houthis” Spokesman released a statement in which he said:
“The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Allah Almighty, carried out a qualitative military operation targeting an "israeli" enemy military objective in the area of Yaffa in occupied Palestine.
The operation was executed with a new hypersonic ballistic missile, which, by the grace of Allah, successfully reached its target. The enemy's defenses failed to intercept and counter it. The missile traveled a distance of approximately 2,040 km in 11 and a half minutes, causing fear and panic among the zionists, with more than two million zionists rushing to shelters for the first time in the history of the "israeli" enemy.
This operation is part of the fifth phase and is the culmination of the efforts of the heroic missile forces, who made tremendous efforts in developing missile technology to meet the requirements and challenges of the battle against the zionist enemy, and successfully reach its target and overcoming all obstacles, including American and "israeli" interception systems on land and sea, as well as other systems.
The obstacles of geography, the American-British aggression, and the surveillance, espionage, and defense systems will not prevent dear Yemen from fulfilling its religious, moral, and humanitarian duty in supporting the Palestinian people. The "israeli" enemy should expect more strikes and special operations in the future, as we approach the first anniversary of the blessed October 7th operation. These operations include responses to their criminal aggression on the city of Al-Hodeidah, as well as continued support for the oppressed Palestinian people.”

️BREAKING: HAMAS STATEMENT REGARDING YEMEN
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), commend the missile strike carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces and our brothers in Ansar Allah deep into the Zionist entity. We consider it a natural response to the aggression of the Zionist entity against our Palestinian people, as well as against Yemen and the Arab region. We affirm that the Zionist enemy will not enjoy security as long as its brutal aggression continues against our people in the Gaza Strip.
The actions of the resistance fronts in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq, in continuing their support and direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy, are the legitimate right of our nation’s resistance and its peoples. These actions confirm the unity of our nation and its shared destiny in facing the Zionist project and its colonial hegemony in Palestine and the Arab region.
We renew our call to all forces, free peoples, and living consciences in our nation and the world to continue their support and backing for our people and their valiant resistance, until the aggression and the war of extermination in Gaza cease, and the aspirations of our people are realized in reclaiming their national rights, liberating their land and holy sites, and establishing their Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
